For Dermatitis "I have used Elocon for several years for frequent contact dermatitis on my hands, between my fingers and under rings, behind my knees, and for poison ivy or sumac. It relieves itching and redness very quickly and you only need a very small amount - apply sparingly. Episodes are over in about three days in my experience. I keep in in the house at all times when flare-ups occur."

For Psoriasis "I have had psoriasis for 17 years and have had many visits to the specialist. Although my psoriasis is not what they class as severe it effects my world in a severe way as it is on visual parts of my body that are difficult to hide (especially in summer). Elocon was the first ointment to take the red appearance from the psoriasis and also make some areas look normal again. It has lost its inflammatory appearance and is lessoning in size. I would highly recommend others to give it a go. "

For Atopic Dermatitis "If only I'd found out about this cream earlier! I suffer from dermatitis on my face (brought on by stress) and tried everything else first, but this was the only thing that worked. Took about 2 days for me."

For Eczema "I have been using the Elocon lotion everytime when eczema was there, it cured. Just speechless and I'm thankful I got the Elocon lotion for the first time when I suffered eczema since I have tried everything out there and done a lot of researches, but it seems Elocon did the job impressively well. Got my life back. Ps. #1 cure Elocon"

For Dermatitis "I was suffering a skin condition for 13 years, in my scrotum. After spending thousands of dollars with specialists, I use Elocon for a week and my life was back on track. Thanks to Elocon I have my life back."

For Eczema "I have tried many treatments for my eczema and this, and its generic form, have been the best. I get dry skin, redness, and cracking between my fingers, at the wrist and sometimes on the lower arm. One treatment at night and by morning the redness is gone, irritation gone, and after the 2nd day of treatment, no signs or symptoms of the eczema."

For Eczema "I had terrible eczema since a baby. I was prescribed countless creams until a doctor prescribed me Elocon. This cream was my saviour and I soon became so dependent on it. However my skin started to really lighten and I started having excess facial hair on my face. Now when I stop using it these painful small white bumps come all over my face. I don’t recommend! Search up Topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). It’s only good for short term use!"

For Eczema "literally the only thing that has worked to help my Eczema! I was told by the doctor to apply out of shower then put lotion( I use Eucerin smoothing its not to sticky and leaves ur skin soft) since the Elocon can dry out skin. Works like a charm only down side is if you use for to long can cause thin skin and stretch marks so be careful."

For Psoriasis "I have had Seborrheic Dermatitis since I was 15 years old. I am now 38 and thanks to Elocon Scalp Lotion I have everything under control. I apply the lotion to my hairline and rub it in once a week...within 2 days for some reason the redness in my face dissapears, feels supple and I pretty much am able to forget about my condition. I also wash my face every evening with SBR Lipo Cream as a moisturiser."

For Eczema "Took my son to the allergist for testing, but he couldn't due to raised bumps on back so he prescribed elocon, I got the generic solution that comes in a squeeze dropper. I apply about 6 drops to affected area followed by cruel lotion which is good for replacing ceramides and hydration. I started late evening by the following morning I saw big improvement, by day 3 my son was a new person. Very satisfied so far hope he doesn't relapse"

"I've had eczema since I was six weeks old. A few weeks ago I turned 23. I still suffer from severe eczema, but let me tell you Elocon is miraculous. I've seen many doctors who have prescribed me many different cortisone creams and the like, but since I've been introduced to Elocon, I never went back to any of the others. When my skin splits, particularly on sensitive (and quite painful) areas, such as the knuckles, I put Elocon right in the crack and by the next day without fail, the wound will have either formed a skin over the top or healed near completely. I use it all over my body, and would recommend this to anyone who suffers. I'm sure anyone who endures the frustration of suffering from skin diseases would agree."

For Eczema "I started using Elocon yesterday and today my face is almost clear. Was prescribed by my doctor, because I had some small bumps on my face for over a month. He said it was excema, I’m glad my face is getting clear I’m so happy."

For Eczema "I wish I'd have understood the side effects BEFORE I started using this ointment in my late teens. At first, it was a miracle as it acts very fast. DO NOT USE IT LONG TERM. The doctor didn't tell me this & after years of [heavy] use- it caused thinning & irreparable skin stretch marks & delicate skin. When you try to get off it (in my personal experience) it's as if your body cannot be OK without it. Even though your skin may look eczema-free, when you think you can stop using, after just a few short days, the eczema reappears & the cycle of chasing eczema with Elocon begins. Getting completely off it IS a complete nightmare & support is best sought from a natural doctor who will prescribe natural alternatives to help heal your system & not just mask a problem from an aesthetic view-point. I went through 'red-skin syndrome' or TSW (topical steroid withdrawal) & even on my melanated skin- I looked like an inflamed, weeping, crusting, cherry. Avoid."

For Dermatitis "As others have said, this product can work wonders. However...it is very potent so take care to spread thinly as the instructions state. Also it's vitally important to only use for very short periods of time. Personally I'd use for just 24 hours then stop and use a simple emollient for a few days. Respect the ointment!"

For Psoriasis "Had severe psoriasis for eight months. I suffer from guttate psoriasis and after I got strep throat ages ago, my psoriasis flared up! I used every cream I could get and none of them worked. Until, I found Elocon cream and my body has never looked so clear in months. Would strongly recommend this steroid cream to anyone who is suffering from psoriasis. I can finally show some skin and I'm happy. I'm still treating it but, it's going away."

"I have had a skin problem on the back of my hands for about 12 years. A red itching under the skin followed by the affected area of skin peeling. This is very unsightly. I think it was caused by handling blood and bone whilst working in a garden nursery. Elocon appears to have cured this after one week of treatment. I hope it is permanent."

For Atopic Dermatitis "I’ve suffered from atopic dermatitis and eczema my entire life. It used to be on my feet, which was AWFUL. It moved to behind my knees and elbows. Now, I only get eruptions on my hands/wrists. I have tried so many creams, moisturizers, potions and lotions over my 40 years of life but NOTHING works as amazing as Elocon!! I found that if I moisturize my hands with Genes vitamin E Creme first (available at Sams club) and let that soak in for an hour, then apply Elocon, it’s the money right there. Within a day my flare up looks 75% better, within 2 days it’s easy to stop treatment... it’s almost entirely cleared up, you really need that 3rd day of elocon- that’s when it clears up completely and doesn’t come back for a while. Also amazed how, in spite of heavy itching, bleeding, oozing, big cracks in skin and scabs, sometimes infections on my hands, I NEVER have a scar. Elocon for the win!!"

For Eczema "I have used elocon for myself and all of my children, we all have very sensitive skin and get very bad eczema and within one use it usually helps clear it up so quickly I highly recommend this medication and if you use non-perfume lotions daily you don’t you to use the medication often , They can be used on earth needed basis"

For Psoriasis "My doctor prescribed Elocon lotion for my flaky, itchy scalp. It does work well, and your hair is much cleaner with no itching. But still, some small flaking, but nothing major. Definitely an improvement."

For Psoriasis "I was on Elocon for a few years for my scalp psoriasis. I decided to give it up but no one told me of the side effects!!! I came out with red blotches on my face and little tiny spots. It started around the eyes and gradually crept down under the eyes and onto cheeks. It lasted two weeks and I had to have antibiotics. The doc eventually suggested I only use it once or twice a week but these wretched spots keep coming back. What can I do please? Any suggestions? It’s a wonderful steroid if one wants to stay on steroids!!!"
